330ml bottle: BB October 2023. A present from my brother Matthew, along with three others from this brewery and selection of more London brews, cheers Bro. Drank at home on 27th April 2023. Clean and clear golden body, white affair on top. Slight malty nose, some mild sweetness to the flavour, leading to a semi-dry finish. Easy drinking Helles, didn't find any honey.

330ml bottle at Flat Iron, Kings X. It pours clear golden with a medium, fluffy white head. The aroma is soft, mellow, bready, doughy, biscuit malt, light sweetness, touch of grain and cereal. The taste is crisp, clean, light, airy malt, some floral accents, straw, doughy bread, light biscuit and weak citrus with a soft, doughy finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Drinkable and serviceable lagerbier.

Keg at BD Camden. Aroma is very sweet - burnt demerara sugar and figs. Opaque dark brown. Creamy beige head thins out. There's an underlying Christmasy joint of malts, dark fruit and rye. However this is is forced down by a boozy streak. Liquorice and black coffee develop late on. Medium-heavy bodied. Creamy. Average carbonation. Long some astringent finish... it's the booze.

Light, not the most interesting beer, drinks well
